Sit down and I will tell you.<\/p>\n<p>It happened during summer vacation after my sophomore year in college.  I returned home to decompress after earning a well-deserved 1.6 GPA, which I obtained by failing Russian and Math 100.  My high school friends also came home and we decided to do some camping and hiking along the Kona Coast, which is mostly made up of hardened lava rocks with occasional sandy beaches, private multimillion dollar mansions, and expensive resort hotels.<\/p>\n<p>As we came upon one of the secluded sandy beaches, we noticed two people sunbathing.  As we got closer, they stood up, and it was at this time we found out it was a man and a woman and they were naked.  It was the first time I&#8217;d ever seen nude sunbathers.  I was hoping we would pass right by them, but instead my friend said hello and soon after that a conversation ensued.  <\/p>\n<p>Their names were Ocean and Rainbow and they&#8217;ve been living on the beach for the past couple of weeks.  The couple looked like they were in their 60s, but their leathery skin might&#8217;ve made them look older than they truly were.  Ocean took a hit off of a joint and then passed it to his female companion, whose breasts seemed to have lost the war with gravity a long time ago.  She offered the joint to us, but we declined.  The smell of the marijuana helped cover their musky body odors.<\/p>\n<p>Now if you&#8217;ve never met a nude sunbather, the first thing you might tell yourself is to not look down at their crotch, which is probably the right thing to think.  While my friend was talking to them, I tried to focus on their faces, but something moving in my peripheral vision caught my eye.  I darted my eyes towards the moving object and saw it was Ocean&#8217;s penis.  And it wasn&#8217;t moving, it was growing out from an unkept afro of pubic hairs.  My eyes quickly shifted to Rainbow&#8217;s saggy breasts, then up to her blue eyes and stayed there.  But my peripheral vision still noticed his rising cock.<\/p>\n<p>Then I closed my eyes, but opened them when Rainbow called out Ocean&#8217;s name with a disapproving tone.  &#8220;I guess I&#8217;m happy to see them,&#8221; Ocean replied.  <\/p>\n<p>The words coming out of his mouth drew my eyes toward him and then when he looked down, I also looked down and there in my vision was his bronzed boner, which was very similar in color to the Pepsi Natural, hence the reason why it reminds me of naked hippies.  My looking quickly turned into staring, but I couldn&#8217;t help it because all I could think about was how horrible it must be to have a sunburned cock and I tried to see how the sun&#8217;s rays affected it.  But I didn&#8217;t find out anything because we left soon after.<\/p>\n<p>I think Ocean and Rainbow would like Pepsi Natural, but not because its amber color, that&#8217;s noticeably lighter than regular Pepsi, looks like the same shade as Ocean&#8217;s tanned penis.  They would like it because it&#8217;s an all-natural cola made with sparking water, sugar, kola nut extract and eight other less exciting ingredients that either end with the word &#8220;acid&#8221; or &#8220;gum.&#8221;  It doesn&#8217;t taste like regular Pepsi or have the same bite, instead it tastes somewhat earthy and not as sweet, which is probably due to the kola nut extract.  <\/p>\n<p>Overall, I did enjoy the flavor of Pepsi Natural.  It&#8217;s definitely something different than what I&#8217;m used to when it comes to Pepsi, but that difference was refreshing.  It still reminds me of a naked hippie&#8217;s bronzed boner (and after reading this review, it will probably remind you too), but I will continue to enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 bottle &#8211; 150 calories, 0 grams of fat, 35 milligrams of sodium, 39 grams of carbohydrates, 38 grams of sugar and 0 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Pepsi Natural<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $12.00<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  12-ounce 12-pack<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Costco<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Refreshing flavor.
